This is a blog centering on Dr. Petrosino's course at The University of Texas at Austin entitled " EDC 365E Project Based Instruction in STEM Education." This is the capstone course in the UTeach Natural Sciences professional development sequence. It also serves as a forum for Dr. Petrosino's thoughts and ideas on Project Based Instruction and educational reform.

Meeting 25- May 3: Web Design and Manor Teacher Feedback

Today, Master Teacher Ms. Ekberg guided the students through the process of building the team's web pages. This is an important organizational activity to bring some uniformity to the project units the teams are in the process of designing. While most of our UTeach students are fairly well equipped with technology skills- this process still requires a non-trivial amount of instructional intervention.

Additionally, Ms. Ekberg also reviewed with the students in class the survey responses from the Manor New Tech High School teachers (site of our field paced experiences a month or so ago).
